The Standard Model was now complete, other than the minor niggle of this ‘gravity’ thing and what might be gravitons. To Peter Higgs, the field of particle physics was much of his life ...

The Higgs field is not responsible for gravity, Conover says. Although mass and gravity are related, they are different concepts. “Gravity is not part of the standard model,” she says.

The LHC confirmed the existence of the Higgs field and the mechanism that gives ... interactions — much more powerful than gravity — but very weak over longer interactions, its ...

The particle that Higgs and fellow physicists hypothesized in 1964 could only gain mass by interacting with a field that permeates ... It also has four forces - gravity, electromagnetism, strong ...

Paul Sutter is an astrophysicist at The Ohio State University and the chief scientist at COSI science center. Sutter is also host of Ask a Spaceman, RealSpace and COSI Science Now. He contributed ...

Strassler says alternative theories of the Higgs all share a common problem: It’s hard to get them to line up with what we already know about the particle and its field. “What makes the Higgs field ...

In the presence of the Higgs field, such objects would behave like impurities in a fizzy drink — helping the liquid form gas bubbles by contributing to its energy via the effect of gravity (due ...

The Higgs boson, a physical manifestation of the Higgs field, was first theorized in 1964 through a series of three papers ...

In the presence of the Higgs field, such objects would behave like impurities in a fizzy drink – helping the liquid form gas bubbles by contributing to its energy via the effect of gravity (due ...

The ATLAS detector, one of two experiments to spot the elusive Higgs boson in particle smashups at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, weighs as much as a hundred 747 jets and houses more than 1,800 ...
